Titanium dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral found in the Earth’s crust. The final form is a white powder that can be used in a variety of applications. Two most common ways for our industry is to create white products (like white soap bars) and to create natural sun protection products.
Looking for the whitest soap bars? Or looking for solid color soaps that are through-and-through color? Add some titanium dioxide to your base and have the best-looking bars out there. When using non-nano titanium dioxide for your solid soap bars, add it to the oils before mixing with the lye. Suggested use is 3 teaspoons to one pound of finished soap.
Titanium dioxide is also great to use as a whitener for skincare products, make-up and lipsticks.
Looking to create a natural sunscreen? Natural sunscreens are finally coming to light in the natural skincare market, and it is way past time.
